Las estrellas

Sitting in the salon with Martina, conversing in broken Spanish making jokes about the life her ein Spain and all the minor vicotires we have had living in a foreign country. Thus we have composed a list of our minor accomplishments but in our eyes will always be epic.

1. Not imposing any violence on the construction workers that harass us when we walk. ( For the two of us being blonde we are often called to in the street AY RUBIA!! SLAVIKA!!! After the first 3 times you learn to ignore it or buy a pair of sunglasses.)
2. Battling the cockroaches in the apartment.
3. Calling the gas company on the telephone and speaking Granadino.
4. Returning a pair of pants to the department store.
5. Eating mystery meat at the tapas bar next to the butcher shop.
6. Traveling alone.
7. Carrying 10lbs of groceries back up a hill the size of mt. olympus.
8. Carrying gorceries up mt. olympus in heels because you have to look good when carrying gorceries while excercising your ass muscles.
9. Trying top convert bra sizes and explain to the women that work there that having small boobs is an okay thing and no we arent infertile.
10. Living 3 weeks without internet and not picking up the following habits: heroine, cocaine, singing on street corners, over shopping, over eating, or hanging out with the crazy man that sing volare on the corner of our street.
11. Cooking fish in the oven. So it came out as tough as steak, it was still edible.
12. Taking Spanish courses at the school and swearing only 2 times in your slavic language.
13. Giving directions to tourists that think you live here and having them make sense,.
14. Totally bullshitting directions to tourists and creepy men that just want to talk toyou in order to save your honor and urself from being encarcelated for domestic violence.
15. Seeing your mildly attractive spanish neighbor every morning in his towel and giggling like a school girl for only 3 minutes as oposed to the 5 minutes before.
16. Dodging the advancements of drunk men, spanish men, South african footballistas, old men that pinch, and small children that bite.
17. Stepping in dog pooh only 1 the entire time being here.
18. Managing to finf clothes while shopping where the pants arent too short or too long.
19. Not slapping people that stare at you like you are Hester Pryne because you hold arms with a girl.
20. Finding ourselves.

Job well done
